My Sugar And Your Spice

Amelie raised her head and noticed a woman running toward them, holding a child in one hand and a shopping bag in the other.

When she reached them, she tossed the shopping bag aside and hugged the little girl, her eyes flushed.

The woman was obviously here to shop.

It appeared that she couldn't chase down the little girl earlier because she had too many things with her, which led to what had just happened.

After reprimanding the little girl, the woman repeatedly thanked Amelie and gave her two apples before leaving.

Amelie was lost for words as she looked at the two apples.

She originally refused to accept them, but the woman insisted.

Thus, she had no choice but to walk back to the bridal store with the apples in her hands.

Just as she was about to reach the store, someone ran past Amelie and slammed her shoulder forcefully, rendering her unstable. The apples in her hands fell to the ground.

Amelie wanted to rebuke the person who had knocked her, but when she turned around, she saw a beautiful woman wearing heavy makeup with a pregnant belly.

Noticing that she was pregnant, Amelie couldn't bring herself to lecture her.

Hence, she waited for the woman to walk past her before bending down to pick up the apples.

"I'm pregnant, Mr. Alston." She heard someone say at this point.

Amelie raised her head and noticed a car parked along the road.

The pregnant woman earlier stood by the car door, touched her large belly, and continued, "It's yours."

Although Amelie's vision was blocked by the woman, she still saw the bright leather shoes stepping out of the car, and it was followed by a pair of extremely long legs.

The next moment, the person stepped on the ground with both feet and stood upright.

He was much taller than the woman, hence his attractive face and solemn expression were revealed to Amelie.

It's Leo!

Leo's sudden appearance caught Amelie by surprise, causing her hands, which were picking the apples, to stop halfway.

She hadn't seen him in over two years, but he showed no signs of aging at all. His face remained fair and flawless, and there wasn't a single wrinkle in sight.
